Author Notes

This is great easy dish for one, made from foods on hand.
You can multiply it to serve for a couple or for more. For two, cooking times will remain more or less the same. For a large group, you will need longer times - so check the vegetables as they cook. This recipe is vegetarian, but you can adjust it for what you have on hand and/or people's preferences - vegan, nut, fish, meat. —Nancy
